I heard an interesting comment the other day when i was out ‘n’ about from a woman who, I assumed, was a visitor. She said to the person with her …. “I wonder what there is to do in a small town like this.” Obviously, she must have been from an ‘urban’ community.
But it made me stop and think … hmmm, what is there to do in this small community?
While I was out ‘n’ about over the past two weekends, I thought I would take a ‘few’ photos of what there is to do … mind you, it’s only over two weekends and summer has really just begun!
